Blizzard is working on creating a game in a new universe. The genre of the project is defined as a survival simulator.
The announcement of the start of the development of a new project came just a week after the announcement of the acquisition of Activision Blizzard by Microsoft. The new game will be a fresh gaming universe. The name of the project is still unknown, as well as the approximate release date.
This announcement is curious not only in itself, but also in the circumstances of its release. So, the announcement of the second part of Overwatch took place after Blizzard was criticized for the ban of a gamer who supported Hong Kong during the Hearthstone game event. Now the company has been criticized for encouraging harassment and discrimination.
Such conditions can play a cruel joke on Blizzard, because along with the announcement they hinted at a desire to attract new employees: not every developer will want to deal with a company with a tarnished reputation.
Blizzard's ambitious project is expected to be available on both PC and consoles.
